The initial idea

 

We collect a lot of ideas of many projects we could do, among them:

• a drawing wool machine
• a product dispenser machine
• a cake machine decorator.

 

We selected the “Cake Plotter Machine”, because cakes are very popular in holidays in Peru, and could be a future great project for our gastronomic-boomed market.

 

Once we decided what to do, we where talking about how to do. In Neils explanation, he mentioned the COREXY mechanism. We choose that, because it allows rapid accelerations due to stationary characteristic of the motors.
